Why most nail oils don't work...

For a nail conditioner to show long term results, it needs to penetrate the nail's protective coating. Most conditioning oils don't penetrate - they just sit on top of the nail. They absorb into the cuticle - but not into the nail itself. Many products even advertise "vitamins" - but in many cases this "vitamin" or antioxidant is one of the ingredients used to simply stop the oil in the product from going rancid (and it sounds good too).

For a nail conditioner to be effective - it has to get into the nail which is made of alpha keratin and very different in composition from the skin. Without a penetrating formulation, the ingredients can't penetrate to the nail matrix and you're wasting your time AND money.

FlexiNail is formulated to penetrate the nail. That is why there is a 100 day money-back guarantee. It works.
